    Watch how many fall asleep now. 65 is barley fast enough to keep awake. I can run 65 in 11th gear with my 13sp.

    I wonder if something similar is going on with UPS. Lately I have been seeing more and more of them puttering along at 60-65. Unusual for them...

    Sure, but you probably stay in the correct lane, don't tailgate, don't drive in the ditches, don't run 70 mph through a 45 mph construction zone, etc.

    I'm seeing more cheap contractors pulling Loomis and Purolator. Loomis was on its side in ditch last week. Only a matter of time Fedex will follow suit to compete. Put some low buck chariots to drag their wagons. Eliminate employees

    If that a requirement of fedex its going to get worse.
    That'll be a bigger problem now
    They'll be doing 65 every chance they can now to make up that time, construction zones, school zones
